Guy Ritchie has been seemingly working nonstop recently, releasing two movies last year, the recent The Gentlemen series on Netflix, and, most recently, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a fun action romp that feels like a combination of Inglourious Basterds and Ocean’s 11.

The second part of Zack Snyder’s Netflix space opera Rebel Moon, The Scargiver, feels less like a whole movie than the third act of a film drawn out to 2 hours and the threat of more Rebel Moon on the way.

Dev Patel stars and makes his directorial debut in Monkey Man and while there’s some cool, bloody action, some pacing and stylistic decisions keep it from reaching the level of something like the John Wick movies.

Last year we got the emotional heft and massive action of the Oscar winning Godzilla Minus One but on the other end of the spectrum is the recently released Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which delivers ridiculous and dumb but fun monster action as the latest chapter in the Monsterverse.

Jake Gyllenhaal steps into the shoes of Patrick Swayze to try and clean up a rowdy bar in the Florida Keys in the “reimagining” of the 80s classic Road House, which recently hit Prime Video.

While she’s battled Vecna and demogorgons on Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown battles a dragon in the new Netflix movie, Damsel.

Director Denis Villeneuve continues the epic sci-fi storytelling to the first part of Dune in Dune: Part Two, which is a visually stunning, tremendously acted, and thrilling sci-fi movie that stands toe to toe with other giants in the genre, like Star Wars or The Matrix.

While Sony’s Spider-Man Universe™ has given us the absolute highs of the animated Spider-Verse, it’s also given us slop like Morbius and, somehow, Madame Web is even worse.  In fact, it’s one of the worst superhero/comic book movies ever made.

Matthew Vaughn returns to the world of espionage with Argylle but unfortunately, the movie prioritizes plot twists at the expense of everything else, like interesting character development.

Jason Statham has recently had a string of mediocre to just plain terrible movies (*cough* Expend4bles *cough*), with only Wrath of Man delivering what we really want from Statham.  The Beekeeper is thankfully peak Statham and utterly ridiculous in almost every way.

Although it had the lowest opening weekend ever for the MCU, The Marvels isn’t a total disaster but it is kind of a mess lifted by its main trio of stars and some fun action.
